Fighting for Solutions: Ending Overdose Crisis Tour

Everyday in New Jersey, eight people die of a preventable overdose. We envision a future where all people are treated with respect and compassion, and have the chance to live happy, healthy, and fulfilled lives- regardless of if they are using drugs or not. That’s why members of the New Jersey Organizing Project and the New Jersey Resource Project are launching the Fighting for Solutions Together: Ending the Overdose Crisis tour through some of New Jersey’s communities hardest hit by the overdose crisis. Together we will uplift stories of the struggles we are facing and to fight for the solutions we need to make sure we all survive this crisis. People who use drugs, people in recovery, and loved ones are encouraged to attend. There will be a memorial wall following us on the tour to help us tell the collective story of how the overdose crisis has impacted us and what we need to get whole as a community. Please bring mementos such as photos of your loved one lost to overdose or any other piece of your story you would like to hang on the memorial.
